With the NGO ADAP (Association for the Development of Protected Areas), we are working on a Community Based Nature Resource Management project. Idea is to involve local communities in biodiversity conservation by giving them the opportunity to make a livelihood by sustainably using nature resources.

The non destructive use of natural resources allows to maintain natural habitats shared by humans and wildlife. Awareness of conserving natural habitats for the well-being of humans and biodiversity increases, as well as the acceptation to regulate the intensity of use of extractive methods of natural resources.
